On a walk along the shoreline I noticed clumps of kelp had been washed in with the tide. I am attracted by the timeless and ever changing place where the sea washes across the edge of land. On this occasion, the kelp presented another element - an offering from the sea. At first I opened the shutter for about 5 minutes but found the incoming tide was advancing too fast and kept washing the kelp out of the frame. I reduced the time to around 2 minutes and chose the clumps furtherest from the incoming waves - but still in danger of being moved by the sea because I wanted to show the blur of the water. It took a few attempts but eventually I made three pictures where the waves came close enough to wash over the sand in the background but not so close as to move the subject during the exposure. The movement you can see on the edges of the kelp is due to the strong nor'easter blowing that afternoon - one more player in the complexity and beauty of the shoreline. paul

Paul's fine art photography is an eclectic collection of details and broader views. Passionate about the search for light, he forges and caresses it, both in camera and with software. The essential finale of the process, though, is a limited edition, museum quality print. Today, when amazing pictures are swiped away in seconds, standing before a thoughtful, well-crafted print is to experience the soul of photography. 'I make pictures to express how light and shadow shape my creativity. While I do photograph single experiences or light events, I am most attracted by the coast and the horizon for inspiration. I call my process ‘finding pictures’ and it may help explain my eclectic range of subjects. It grows from an inquisitive interest in landscape and the human condition as well as a passionate search for light.' Paul sees himself as a generalist photographer working on disparate projects or themes that intrigue and even beguile him. Some themes are ongoing but he is often inspired by a single experience or light event. Paul's small edition fine art prints can be colour, black and white or toned - it is the light that determines the process. 'In 2006 I almost permanently lost my sight after eye surgery. It took several years for my eyes to recover and longer to come to terms with the associated depression. Even now I am somewhat limited by the amount of commissioned work I can comfortably undertake. The recovery period gave me time to re-discover my photographic origins. I used it to express how that smeared vision, in the months immediately after the surgery, filtered the world. I find myself drawn to disguising scenes and details with blur and motion.' Paul Foley The Fine Art Prints The Saatchi collection of Paul's work has examples of his small edition prints He prints his signed small edition series on the finest cotton rag papers, selecting the best Hahnemuhle, Moab or Canson cotton rag paper to suit each image, ensuring perfect colour, tonality and archival longevity. To reward keen collectors, the first print of the 5 and 12 editions is priced approximately 25% lower than subsequent prints in the edition. The last print of an edition may attract a surcharge . 25 Edition prints are priced the same through the edition. 'Photography isn't real until I can feel it. A print is the tactile confluence of light and shadow. It is when my creative process is fully and properly realised.
